There's always Space for new board games!

This week we have been designing and making our very own Space-theme board games. This has linked our Science topic of Space and also our current English focus of instructions. Today, many of the groups finally finished and we able to play their fantastic games. In the picture below you will see that the board is complete with a working spinner, question cards, a superb coloured board, and playing pieces. Importantly, it also included a thorough, clear set of instructions so that not only the creators can enjoy the game.

This spinner is attached to the board, making it a central feature....

Just look at the playing pieces on this brilliantly-designed playing board!

Some of the playing boards were superbly coloured and appealing. Also worthy of note, is that this board pays some attention to the different sizes of the sun and its planets. There has also been some superb research taking place this week in order to create accurate quiz question cards on our theme of Space.

It has been a great deal of fun working on these games this week and I think the class are rightfully proud of their work. It has taken a lot of time and effort to create these games (complete with superb instructions!) but I'm sure you'll agree it has been totally worth it!

I'm already looking forward to next week's Golden Time so we can get them out again and have a play!
